SEMESTER at SEA COURSE SYLLABUS University of Virginia, Academic Sponsor SEMESTER AT SEA COURSE SYLLABUS University of Virginia, Academic Sponsor Voyage: Fall 2015 Discipline: Special Topics in English Literature ENSP 2559: The Sea and the Mirror Lower Division Faculty Name: Dr. J. H. Miller Credit Hours: 3; Contact Hours: 38 Pre-requisites: An introductory literature course COURSE DESCRIPTION There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid. The way of a ship in the midst of the sea has fascinated human beings from the very beginnings of literature to the present day. Celebrating the elemental relationship of man and the natural world, the sea itself and voyages upon it have inspired poems, short stories, novels, and plays, often – as Hamlet said – “to show virtue her feature, scorn her own image, and the very age and body of the time his form and pressure.” The sea also functions as a metaphor for the great, universal themes of humanity. From the darkness upon the face of the deep, to the spirit moving upon the face of the waters, to the way of a man with a maid, this course will study selected works ancient and modern, scientific and literary that enlighten our relationship to each other and to the sea around us. COURSE OBJECTIVES “The Sea and the Mirror” will focus on the sea around us, specifically on three main bodies of water: the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Caribbean Sea, with ancillary reference to the Pacific and to the now century-old technological marvel of the Panama Canal that created “a path between the seas.” Borrowing Nobel Laureate Derek Walcott’s phrase, “the sea is history,” we will explore how literature has interpreted the stories, myths, and historical events associated with the sea and our responses to it. Throughout the fall semester, each class day we will read selections from Rachel Carson’s The Sea Around Us, one of the most successful, and poetic, nature books ever written about the world’s oceans. When she accepted the National Book Award for this work Carson wrote, “If there is poetry in my book about the sea, it is not because I deliberately put it there but because no one could write truthfully about the sea and leave out the poetry.” From her we will learn about the sea itself: its origins, its creatures, tides, currents, winds, waves, and storms as well as about its precarious environmental future in the 21st century. In the preface to her book Carson wrote: “It is a curious situation that the sea, from which life first arose, should now be threatened by the 1 activities of one form of that life. But the sea, though changed in a sinister way, will continue to exist; the threat is rather to life itself.” During our voyage around the Mediterranean we will read Derek Walcott’s play, The Odyssey: A Play based on Homer’s epic and examine the dramatist’s interesting fusion of both ancient and modern Mediterranean and Caribbean cultures. Before we arrive in Naples we will explore the power of the world’s volcanoes through focusing on the many eruptions of Mt. Vesuvius, including the eruption in 79 AD that devastated Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Stabiae. We will read Pliny the Younger’s letter to the historian Tacitus. This letter is the only eyewitness account extant of the devastation caused by the volcano’s eruption. We will also read selections from George Edward Bulwer-Lytton’s novel The Last Days of Pompeii to observe how the author incorporates the Vesuvius eruption into the novel’s plot. Sailing to Istanbul we will read and discuss William Butler Yeats’ short poem “Sailing to Byzantium.” En route to Senegal and Ghana we will examine the effects of Western imperialism on African cultures through reading Conrad’s novella, Heart of Darkness. In Ghana we may have an opportunity to visit the “slave castles” of Cape Coast and Elmina while also reading selections from The Interesting Narrative of Olaudah Equiano, a once-enslaved African who knew about life aboard a slave ship. From the Old World we will cross the Atlantic following the course of the infamous “Middle Passage” to the New World of Brazil and the Caribbean. We will study Fred D’Aguiar’s Feeding the Ghosts, a novel based upon the 1781 massacre aboard the British slave ship Zong. Then we will look at Marlene NourbeSe Philip’s epic poem Zong! to understand further the extraordinary trauma that enslaved Africans underwent during this horrific voyage, a voyage that precipitated an important lawsuit at the Court of King’s Bench in London about the monetary value of human beings. We will also study two Caribbean-born poets’ visions of the sea by reading selected works by Derek Walcott and Edouard Glissant, and also by reading Columbian writer Gabriel García Márquez’s narrative The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor. Anthropologist Sidney W. Mintz has observed of the Caribbean, “So small a segment of the earth’s surface is not easy to take seriously – especially since it lies near the most powerful nation in world history, and has become a favorite place to loaf, bathe, drink and flirt, for Americans and other foreigners. Yet only a couple of centuries ago, the Caribbean islands became the testing ground for European imperialism, modern slave labor, and the first production site for the ‘proletarian drug foods,’ such as sugar, coffee and rum. Never before had Europe succeeded in establishing overseas production of such profitable imports, in tropical lands that they owned by conquest. The ensuing struggles – launched from below by those who worked, and from above by the reformers in the metropolis – to shake loose and overturn those innovative capitalistic experiments preoccupied for centuries the armies, navies and governments of Europe's most powerful states, as well as the U.S. and Brazil. An important result of European interest was that the islands and nearby shores became one of the most ethnically diverse regions of the globe, exposed to a modernization that had rested on genocide, slavery, large-scale acculturation, early and forced industrialization, and then, revolution.” Our voyage will conclude with a close analysis of William Shakespeare’s The Tempest, a late romance set on a mysterious and magical island, a play infused with the presence of the sea as an all-powerful, fearsome force of nature while also a force of healing that brings both personal and 2 social transformation. The play also introduces the character of Caliban, “a savage and deformed slave,” who is a native of the island upon which European sailors and passengers are shipwrecked. The tension between the “primitive” Caliban who “rules” the island and the “civilized” Prospero, former Duke of Milan, who wishes to usurp Caliban’s power evokes imperialism and its subjugation and enslavement of native peoples that have been recurrent themes during our Atlantic Exploration. Apart from our sea-journey all of us aboard MV Explorer are embarking on another journey – an interior and highly personal one of exploration and self-discovery. Some might call it a pilgrimage – not necessarily to a specific sacred place or holy shrine, though we will undoubtedly visit many, but rather a pilgrimage to seek greater knowledge and truth. Truth about who we are and how we may have changed during our semester at sea. Truth and enlightenment about the Atlantic triangular slave trade. Truth about lives lost and sufferings endured. Truth about imperialism and colonialism. Truth about the human will to be free from oppression. Truth about the sea around us and its future in the 21st century. More specifically, our objectives are: *To acquire a deeper understanding of the many ways literature reflects our love-hate relationship with the sea – from its beauty and majesty, to its danger and mystery; from its seductive call to explore the unknown, to its engendering a longing to return home to the safety and familiarity of ports, anchorages, family; from its reflection of the very best of human nature, to its depiction of mankind at its most depraved. *To understand just what the sea is really like, how our small ship is but a microcosm of humanity, and how we passengers and crew are inextricably woven together – metaphorically and actually – into a community of sailors, adventurers, explorers. To appreciate that for some the sea is slavery and that for all that the sea is history. *To understand the history and culture of maritime ports through field assignments and an in-depth field lab, both of which will be included (along with reference to reading assignments) into your personal sea voyage narrative. *To appreciate the depth and breadth of imperialism and colonialism around the Atlantic Rim and to understand how the attendant cancer of slavery and its cultural and personal effects continue to influence the post-colonial world of the twenty-first century. *To learn about ourselves through the process of writing our own personal narrative of this journey ASSIGNMENTS Literature Writing Assignments: 4 x 5% = 20% Field Lab Report: 20% Voyage Narrative (with field notes): 40% Final Essay: 20% 3 REQUIRED TEXTBOOKS (Prior to boarding the ship students may download their own digital editions of required texts, if they are available. Or students may order books through the UVA Bookstore to be delivered to ship. The notation “in course folder,” in topical outline below, means that referenced readings will be available in digital form on the ship’s intranet.)

They designed the theme and the program, vetted seminars and papers, organized the schedule and the program, and carried out the seemingly endless tasks involved in a conference of this size. We would like to thank Paul Gooch, president of Victoria University, and Domenico Pietropaolo, principal of St. Michael’s College, for their generous donation of rooms. Their enthusiasm for the conference made it possible. The bulk of the program organizing at the Toronto end (everything to do with the assignment of rooms and the accommodation of seminars—a massive task) was done by Myra Bloom, Ronald Ng, and Sarah O’Brien. The heroic job they performed required them to set aside their own research for a period. Alex Beecroft and Andy Anderson did the organizing at the ACLA end and always reassured us that this was possible. We would like to acknowledge the generosity of the Departments of Classics, English, Philosophy, Religion, the Centre for Medieval Studies, the Centre for Diaspora and Transnational Studies, and the Jackman Humanities Institute, all of which donated rooms; and the generous financial support accorded by the Faculty of Arts and Science, East Asian Studies, English, Philosophy, Medieval Studies, Classics, French, German, Diaspora and Transnational Studies (and Ato Quayson in particular), the Emilio Goggio Chair in Italian Studies, Spanish and Portuguese, and Slavic Studies.

  • 6 October 2016 Dear Candidate, As Americans Across the Country
    6 October 2016 Dear Candidate, As Americans across the country prepare to elect a new President and Congress, the Copyright Alliance and CreativeFuture – two organizations that strongly support creative communities by working to protect creativity and encourage respect for copyright law – have partnered on letters (attached here) and a Change.org petition, to ensure that the views of the creative communities are heard. Signed by over 35,000 creatives, audience members, fans, and consumers, the letters recognize that the internet is a powerful and democratizing force, but also stress the need for a strong copyright system that rewards creativity and promotes a healthy creative economy. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative or libertarian, strong and effective copyright is not a partisan issue, but rather one that benefits our entire country. The letters and petition discuss the complementary relationship between a strong copyright system, free expression, creativity, innovation, and technology. The signers affirmed: • We embrace the internet as a powerful democratizing force for creative industries and the world at large. • We embrace a strong copyright system that rewards creativity and promotes a healthy creative economy. • We proudly assert that copyright promotes and protects free speech. • Copyright should allow creative communities to safeguard their rights against those who would use the internet to undermine creativity. • Creative communities must be part of the conversation and stand up for creativity. Sincerely, Ruth Vitale Keith Kupferschmid CEO, CreativeFuture CEO, Copyright Alliance Open Letter to 2016 Political Candidates We are members of the creative community. While our political views are diverse, as creatives, there are core principles on which we can all agree.

  • Global History Perspective
    GLOBAL HISTORY PERSPECTIVE CHANGING THE FUTURE WITH THE PAST: GLOBAL ENLIGHTENMENT THROUGH BIG HISTORY Barry H. Rodrigue and Daniel J. Stasko Ever since humans migrated out of their hearth in east Africa, they have in- creasingly engaged in global networking, from trade to scholarship. Global- ization is an intrinsic aspect of human life, one that has become more and more interwoven with human civilization's ability to survive. This paper re- views the historical process by which humans have developed a unified world- view and then introduces what the authors consider to be the next stage of globalization – the new pedagogical model of Big History. The authors argue that the inclusion of Big History in the world's educational systems is of major importance for resolving the most serious problems that human society con- fronts; they describe the status of Big History and call for academics to engage in a process of ‘Global Enlightenment’. Keywords: Big History, Cosmic Evolution, globalization, Global Studies, World History, geography, education, pedagogy. Globalization is not new, despite the fact that the world media treats it as a modern, cut- ting-edge concept. Today, the word is used to market everything from junk mortgages to university degrees. In addition, the concept of globalization tends to mean vastly differ- ent things to different professions. The dispersal of oxygen in the atmosphere two billion years ago and the dispersal of microchips in modern computers are both global events, but they result in very different frames of reference for chemists and economists! So, it is helpful to envision three different levels of globalization: 1) Globalization as a human or non-human activity representing world-wide reach; 2) Globalization as a form of hu- man awareness; and 3) Globalization as a form of intentional human action.
